i ♡ polyvore

this is my new favourite distraction! (procrastination)

I started to put up loads of girlgang items for peeps to play with.... and ten minutes later got totally sucked into this time wasting vortex :)

... ok, so I'm not a teenager and should (definitely) be doing other things with my time... but this is CRAZY FUUUUN!!!

paisley perfection

oh. my. god.

these have gone straight to the top of my wishlist!!!

Clarks have reinvented their classic desert boot in a few new styles to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the design - but this Liberty print version is the killer...

... although I'm also liking very much these purple fringy ones....

salty

chocolate + salt = the bizzzzzzz

FACT.

it's autumn....

jumpers ON !

i ♡ louboutin

the other day I spent over an hour in Louboutin prancing around in these, totally falling in LOVE::::

... and praying that my feet would magically grow bigger!

They've completely sold out of my size everywhere :(

... forever probably

never mind, I got these bad boys instead! ;P

toot toooot!

some new graphics for the new girlgang site::::::

check it out here!

I'm sooo proud of it :)

It's taken months of hard work and preparation - much like I imagine writing a book/having a baby/stalking someone might be like - but it's all been SO worth it!

N U T S

whenever I feel a bit down or grumpy, I look at old sesame street animations on youtube and the next thing I know, I'm laughing my head off with happiness!!!

try it.

I love all the literal typography :)

"roootttaaate all abooouuuut"

see.

black and gold

my carnival fun was confined to yesterday, as today I am mostly calligraphising these black and gold envelopes for a certain high fashion shoe brand's fashion week event...

... er, where's my invite, hmm???

la cage aux folles

this little robin has been hanging out in my local sainsburys for 2 days!

No-one can catch it as he keeps flying off over the maze of aisles :(

I now regard the supermarket as a ruddy great birdcage...

leopard print bread

continuing my obsession with all things leopard, into the kitchen... and my tummy!

tastes good :)

cool cats

the other night I was strolling down hackney road with my friend stef when we happened upon this mysterious gang of cats:::::

so weird - 6 black and white cats just hanging out together?

Dogs do packs, but cats?...

... I'm suspicious... what are they up to?...

pretty city

aaah, sarf london so pretty...

sunny sunday

the start of my sundays::::

the end of my sundays::::

...I don't actually end up in church - just at the pub next door...

uh oh...

pretty in pink though...

cassette graveyard

I've got 2 drawers full of ancient tapes that I can't bring myself to chuck, despite being that most are 20+ years old, and stored next to a radiator, so have now taken on a charming warbling effect during playback...

I've also got all manner of nice big vintage tape players to listen to them on - the most impressively big being my 16 year old peugeot 106 - but the warbling thing is just plain fucking annoying!

So I just occasionally look at them and mourn all the music of my youth I can't be bothered to replace on mp3, sigh....

Until now!

Ok, so I'm supremely late on spotify - only just discovered it's greatnessssss :0

And I'm now randomly plucking tapes from the drawer and looking them up in a whirlwind frenzy!

... it's gonna take me years to listen to all this shit again...

...but the rush of memories you get is just too good!

First out was Mary J Blige, My Life:

.... But I now have this on repeat so will blatantly never get round to all the other tapes...

my fave track with a lauren hill remixxxx:

BANANAS!!!

this is the best thing I ever did seeeeeeee.......

gwarn blondinette!

the original::::::

YESSSSSSSS!

Rootling through a cigar box of ‘stuff’ on my desk, I just un-earthed my favourite nail polish of all time!

Thought I’d lost that shit!

Mmmm, water-shine juicy bubblegum, thanks maybelline – don’t think they make this one any more though L

So good job I’ve got half a bottle left, yip peee!

RIP SAMSUNG

I recently succumbed to the lure of the iphone – I’m really glad as it’s super-fun and useful – however, there are a couple of fundamental things about my old Samsung that will be sorely missed:

1 – it’s pink, durr…

2 – it actually writes numbers out as you tap them in - with a fountain pen!

Scribble sound effects in effect too!

Sigh… that was pure joy to me…

Also, touch screen is fun and fantastic… until you realise how smeary it always looks, urgh

POP!

So here I go – I’m going to use this blog to purge my over-stuffed tiny mind of all the imagery and nonsense it decides to hoard – it’s a big job...

It’ll be a welcome surprise if anyone out there is at all interested!

I’ll also be posting on the girlgang blog of course – but it’ll be nice to put up some of the other stuff /nonsense I do here :)
